This one's pretty simple. To do it, click START > go to Run > type in "msconfig" (- the quotes). After you've done it, click "OK" and scroll over to the "Startup" tab.
Here you'll be able to control what programs start up when your computer starts up.
This is a good thing to do if you haven't ran a spyware/adware check in awhile.
Thanks for reminding me about this, haven't done that in a year or something ... that's not a new hint but definitely more useful than any hack-the-registry-hint
Here's an another good way of improving Windows XP's startup speed (this tip is only for Windows XP users, of course). It's called "BootVis" - a free tool from Microsoft that is supposed to make your computer start up more quickly... I didn't believe it could do such a thing at first (and it isn't created for that purpose anyway, a friend recommended it to me), but I tried it out and I noticed an large increase in startup speed! If anyone is willing to try it out, here's the link:

I downloaded BootVis, and I tried looking at that page w/ information on it. Still nothings working. I'm confused as hell on this thing...is there a FAQ for the average-computer geek?

I really hope that it will do wonders for someone’s PC like it did to mine!

I tried opening and viewing the page you recommended but I got a 404 error page. I kept on retrying but the same thing still kept on happening. I have BootVis for as long as I can think but I have never really bothered to use it before.
Bootvis.exe is a performance tracing and visualization tool that Microsoft designed to help PC system designers and software developers identify performance issues for boot/resume timing while developing new PC products or supporting software.
Please note that Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users. Contrary to some published reports, Bootvis.exe cannot reduce or alter a system's boot or resume performance. The boot optimization routines invoked by Bootvis.exe are built into Windows XP. These routines run automatically at pre-determined times as part of the normal operation of the operating system.
If you are an end-user seeking to resolve issues for boot/resume performance on your PC, we recommend that you contact the vendor from whom you purchased the PC. For information from Microsoft on specific issues, you can search Knowledge Base for Windows XP product issues related to "resume time."

I can't seem to understand how to use this... Someone said that you have to turn off system restore files, and Ghost/Goback files. So how does this work? I'm afraid to try it, because I just formated my computer last week because of a startup failure!
It won't do any harm, I'm sure! Try it! All you need to do is to start BootVis, select Trace > Next Boot, restart your system, wait for BootVis to do it's job, and when it's done, start it again, but this time, select Trace > Optimize System.

Crossbreeding is a very useful tool to improve performance. It is widely used in cattle to improve
milk production. When breeding is done between two different breeds is called crossbreeding. If an
bull of high milk producing breed (like Holstein) meted to a low milk producing cow (like any
non-descriptive indigenous breed), the offspring will produce more milk then her mother. This is a
genetic upgrading. I will try to discuss it as easy as possible, so that people without having
knowledge of genetics can understand it. Here is an example to explain how crossbreeding....
Ok a friend of mind who will remain nameless believes she is a horrible singer, but if fact she is
good but needs a lot of practice to hone her voice and she will be better then ever. Of course she
doesn't believe so she ask me to ask a few people what they think about her voice. Now this
isn't American Idol so I don't want stupid remarks saying she is bad because that would be
insulting me and my friends, and I don't like it when my friends or I get insult. So keep your
Simon Cowell comments to yourself, and be helpful by saying how she can improve a....

are some easy to guess advantages to switching to a shorter domain like it's much easier to
remember, much easier to type etc. Our visitor ammount improved as well, while normally we would be
arround 100 visitors we would now be arround 140, which is quite an improvement if ....
